Abstract
AbstractCompetence with respect to systems engineering is a topical debate and research area. At the same time, there is a debate in human resource management on the exact definition of competence. It is imputed that a constructivist approach to defining the construct ‘competence’ may be of benefit to the work relating to competence and systems engineering in that it will assist in considering viable definitions of competence. The primary focus of this paper is on individual competence in the systems engineering discipline. The possible purpose of use of the construct competence and the various areas of use will be considered. In order to focus on the purpose and potential use of defining competence at an individual level, various factors of the specific context that influence this description are discussed. The paper proposes a framework for use in a constructivist approach to describe systems engineering competence.
